Canoeing, Kayaking, or Rafting the Deschutes River

A popular activity in Sunriver is a leisurely float down the Deschutes River.  You start at the Sunriver Marina where you can rent canoes, kayaks, or rafts and then float down the Deschutes River until you reach a pull out site where you are picked up and driven back to your car parked at the Marina.  This is a great activity for the entire family.  There are no rapids on this section of the Deschutes River and just a modest current.  You can make it a work out and row, row, row your boat or just sit back and let the current take you on the 2 hour scenic float through Deschutes National Forest.  Keep your eye open for deer, elk, porcupines, or river otter that live along the river.

One of my favorite memories before we moved to Sunriver was renting several canoes with my family and engaging in all out "water war" with the family and friends in the other canoes.  Buckets, water guns, or even just the oars of the boat served as our weapons of choice.  Perfect fun for a hot summer day (and a great way to get that sibling or cousin that deserves a good soaking).

Call the Sunriver Marina for canoe and kayak rental prices and times of operation.
